FBI file reveals some of the secrets of Howard Hunt’s White House safe

Emma Best at MuckRock reports on newly-released FBI files that illuminate the shared CIA history of the Watergate burglars.

The FBI proceeded to show Dorothy a series of photographs and letters, many of which she was promptly able to identify. Five of these photographs were of the Watergate burglars, whom she connected to her husband.Significantly, her statement of meeting one of the burglars through her husband at the 1971 Bay of Pigs reunion lends credence to later statements that this was when and where Howard Hunt reconnected with Bernard Barker in the lead-up to the Watergate affair.
